Video tells the story of the decline of customer trust and the rise of content marketing as a means of reaching customers and building trust. At the time, social media was largely unexplored in the Financial Services space. This was essentially a wakeup call to a new sales/marketing paradigm.

Through the use of statistics, quotes and events of the day, the power of social media was illustrated and its potential for sales and marketing spotlighted.
